   Love long games, i feel im getting more for my money, having said that, MORE than long games, i LOVE GREAT GAMES, and thats what another worldLove long games, i feel im getting more for my money, having said that, MORE than long games, i LOVE GREAT GAMES, and thats what another world (out of this world) is to me, this is one of those games that changed the lifes of those who played it when it came out, it was also made entirely by one guy!
   My fav version so far is the snes one, since they put extra music which truly set the mood in some parts of the game.
   This is a very cinematic game, and one of the first to do that, but also has very interesting gameplay, hit or miss sometime you'll die many times in a trial and error manner, never loosing the fun, you dont mind cause you're very interested about what comes next! love the sequel too, shame they didn't included it in this anniversary release since the game is very short. The sequel is a very good game and gives it a proper closure in my opinion, only released for sega cd, so get an emulator and play it!
   
   This game is one of the favorite games of metal gear creator Koshima, play it and see why.… Expand

Sure, you're going toWhen I first bought it, I had a really good feeling it was going to be an awesome game. And, as it turns out, it was! Sure, you're going to have frustrating deaths and the fact that the game is very short, but that won't stop you from replaying it again and again. You can also switch between original and new graphics and soundtrack. How cool is that? This game deserves an honest 8 out of 10.… Expand

   I was honestly surprised by how engaged I was with this game from the start. It mostly handles well even from a modern perspective, but thenI was honestly surprised by how engaged I was with this game from the start. It mostly handles well even from a modern perspective, but then the classic 90s difficulty spike set in, making you re-run the same obstacles over and over from a distant checkpoint until you get every single button press with perfect timing. Obviously this is fault I have with the original game design, and I think the remaster as a whole was quite a good job.… Expand

   This game has not aged well. I don't mean in it's presentation; I can stand old looking visuals and low-quality audio since this game ISThis game has not aged well. I don't mean in it's presentation; I can stand old looking visuals and low-quality audio since this game IS 20-something years old. That's not the reason why this game hasn't aged well. The reasons why it hasn't aged well are it's clunky controls and insistence ion frustrating mechanics that make this feel less like a game and more like pulling your toenails out. The controls, in an attempt to make the character feel more realistic, are slow, clunky, and rather unresponsive. Slow in that it takes a while for your character to even think about moving his left big toe to begin walking. Clunky in that, in addition to the sluggishness of your character, movement is restricted to those that can only be done in real life. You can't jump twice your height; only about six or seven inches off the ground. Unresponsive in that sometimes your character will just decide to NOT move in the direction that you told him to, or sometimes not at all.
   
   I feel that these could be forgiven if the gameplay was smooth and intuitive enough.
   
   NOPE.
   
   Platforming is clunky, requiring pixel-perfect lands to continue without instantly dying. Combat, is twitch-based and requires you to time your shots carefully so that way you don't die instantly, all enemies have hidden moves that they don't show until you're right next to them that kill you instantly, all falls kill you instantly, water kills you instantly, you can run into a room and have no idea what's in the next screen and have whatever is in there kill you instantly. Did I mention the instant deaths in this game? And the worst part is that the game uses an extremely inconsistent checkpoint system where, at some points, you'll have to complete large, extremely difficult sections of the game because you accidentally mistimed your jump and fell into a pit and died instantly. All of this stuff can't hide that fact that these frustration measures are used to stretch a 45-minute game to around two to three hours in length.
   
   Save your $8 ($10 on PC for some odd reason) and watch the Game Grumps fail miserably at it; it'll be INFINITELY more fun than going through it yourself.… Expand

   The controls... omg the controls. They are SO BAD, they make Alone in the dark and Flashback feel like free flowing lovely 2019 platformers.The controls... omg the controls. They are SO BAD, they make Alone in the dark and Flashback feel like free flowing lovely 2019 platformers. Miserable. Wanted to claw my brains out after 2 minutes of playing.
   Graphics are crap too, even if the game of course is very old. I've heard/read that the story is supposed to be good but to be honest, I never played long enough to experience it - deleted the game after 5 minutes. The game has aged awfully.… Expand
